tloudod heavily as he spoke, but his friend
nnd host for the two were winding up an
, evening in Marten's little flat. in Piccadilly,
was too busy looking for. wedding rings
among the smoke wreaths to notice him.
Presently Lamont's last remark seemed
to strike some line of thought In the ab
sorbed lover's brain, for he laughed lightly
' and cried In hiS fresh, boyish voice:
"You' talk of marriage as though you
knew oil 'about it, Lamont you who are
tho most confirmed old misogynist in

- -Cluirlie Marten was too young to be al
' ways tactful, and he pursued the subject.
"Did any woman ever behave badly to
yon?" he said, with boyish bluntness.
From an older man Lamont would have
resented such a question as an idle imper
tinence, but he was genuinely -fond of
"-Charlie Marten, and in a vague way he
ratIieJrT5iedthe( boy for having had his
wings singed r s3 early in life. There

you are bound to the chariot wheels of one
of the sex the' 6tory may help you to un
derstand me, and other men, too perhaps,
for, after all, I suppose it's an everyday
occurrence." M - - .-
''The reason I hate women is this:
There was once a man like yourself, young,
rtch,.Iuitoitiiejoy oi living. inewona
and all that was in it were at his feet. He
was gentle natured," good hearted and
would have trusted and believed the devil
himself. ' The gentleman in black did not
seek for credence on his own account, but
the best instrument of torture and temp
tation he could find was a woman. Don't
look so shocked, Charlie; No trace of
horns , or hoofs- disfigured her exquisite
proportions, and if a smell of 'brimstone
lurked anywnere among tne ioius oi . ner
ample little muslin frocks a dash of sweet,

that she was! wanted' no such 'grewsome j
playthings as 'several limbs. ' Rather did
she prefer such pretty trifles as hands can j
glve'.j .'.'; - -. ;. ; ' !
Lamont paused and lit a fresh cigar.
"It began with" flowers and theater
tickets. She would sit through a play with
her starry eyes fixed on the stage and the
fair blossoms his flower? held against,
the whiteness of her girlish breast until
his' arms ached to clasp her to him. But
he always feared to even hint his passion
to one so innocent and pure. One day he
met her in the street, and, charmed by her
childish admiration, bought her a string
of milky pearls. After, that the flowers
dropped off, and brooches that gleamed
with rubies, rings and bracelets of dia
monds, and strings of gems for the deck
ing of her slim white throat showered in
to the lap of her frock. And all this time,
while every smile and pout and merry
langh was forging the pithless bands of
mad passion round his heart, he had not
so much as brushed his lips across her pink
tipped fingers.' - ' I- T
.. In his boyish superior knowledge of
"the sex"- Charlie JMarten smiled quietly
into his tiimbler. ' :.
"This went on for months. For this
girl's sake the man I tell you Of gave up
. the society where he was' popular, deserted
the friends who would have been true to
him through everything, broke the heart
of a liftle, quiet, brown eyed thing away
in a country parsonage and sent his own
mother sorrowing ;,to her grave. Then,"
' when the jjy-l with' the Jblg eyes and the ;
tiny mouth had had all his manhood, the
fulfillment of his life's career, his money
and his fair fame ho offered her the last
thing he had to give his name. He went
to her one night, beggared; ill, weary, and
asked her to marry him. She laughed in
. his face. God, how that woman laughed!"
Lamont dropped his face between: his
hands and groaned as the memory Of; the
Past came back to him. From between his
hands, in muffled tones, he finished the
story. . - . - '
"She lashed him with -the cruel tongue
of contempt and mockery, j She cried that
so bankruDt in Docket and in friends
should be her husband, and 4hen, With
virtuous indignation flashing from every
feature, she ordered him from her, saying
that his very presence would endanger her
good name. They never met again. '' . 1
Silence fell Lamont, with hidden face,
was breaching heavily in his effort to re-1
gain his self control. - Charlie Marten fid- j
died awkwardly with his j cigarette, more f
tuoyed by the older man's emotion than he ;
cared to show, i j j
Presently Lamont rose to his feet -'
. ''1 beg your pardon, " he said very juiet-
lyand holding out his hand,
but now
It was on the tip of Charlie's tongue to
pursue the subject and ask his friend why
he tarred all the sex alikej but perhaps La
mont guessed his purpose, f or he moved
briskly toward the fireplace, saying In a
( light tone: ' : i -' ' -
"My dear fellow, I must be off. r It's
Past 2 o'clock." ' - :'-' - - '
His eyes wandered carelessly among the
score of. photos that littered the mantel
1 Piece in company with invitation cards,
cigars, gloves and bric-a-brac.
, "By the way, what is tfae name of jrour
future wife?" J - ';.. f . . ' .
Ho spoke very slowly and drew breath
almost between each word. :
"Oreacia Dulverton. i You'll find her

'Charlie, wrestling desperately with an ob-
njiatc bottle of soda. f

touth and a glorious throat and bust. L

A week later smart society had anew
Eensatlon, and as usual a man and a wom
an were at the bottom of ik The woman
In question was the lovely Oreacia Oulver
ton, the. bride elects of the rich -young
Charlie Marten, and the man wonders
would never ceases-was Major Lamont,
whom all tho women had ; been trying to
subjugate for years in vain, and who- and
here came in the spice of the whole affair
was known to be ' Charlie Marten's
greatest friend. -.:."-:'y ; Vi ''a :-i
At first, whether in the park, or at Hur
llnghanVyor 'the lawn at Ascot, or in the -ballrooms
of Mayfair, the party was al-,
ways a trois. But as the days and nights
of the London season whirled by watchful
eyes noted that Miss Dulverton's softest
glances crossed her lover's lowering face to '
lose themselves in Lamont's eyes; that he
Waltzed With her twice to Charlie's once;
that he piloted her across the Bow and
pulled his chabrbeneath the shadow of her
sunshade on the hot afternoons ' in the
park. . ' - -' - i -..
For a fortnight society wondered j and
whispered and then began to talk aloud., ' '
1 Major Lamont and Miss Dulverton had
been recognized punting alone at Maiden
head. They had been seen lunching in a
tender tete-a-tete at Richmond, and then,
emboldened by success, rumor shrieked
about a box at the Empire and supper at
the Savoy. - . . ' . ,
It was this last outcry that roused Char-'
lie Marten to action, and one afternoon in
the club he cut Lamont before 80 men. He
was too young and too chivalrous to carry
Blander and doubt into the Bacred presence
of his lady love, but the bitterness must
have vent, and it fell on Lamont's broad
shoulders.'': .--'.-. '-...-.':
" Sick at heart and furious with himself,
. Charlie went 'straight from his club to his
rooms. . He felt as. though all the world,'
which only the other day had seemed too
desirable and sweet, were out of joint. , '
Nothing but Oreacia and music be was
to take her to the opera that night would
soothe his ruffled feelings.
As he stepped, dressed for the evening,
into his brougham an ' urchin . tossed - a
twisted scrap of paper into the carriage.
"Private room No. 8; Cafe Royal; to
night, 11:30." . I : : i: ' . : '- '
The words were in" penciled capitals,
and he scarcely glanced at them before
tearing the slip across and tossing it from
the window. ' A
' "Cafe Boyall Rubblshl" he muttered.
"Why, I'm going to take Oreacia to Lady
Bedale's ball after the opera." . 5
But in that plan, he was disappointed.
Oreacia Dulverton had never looked bo
lovely. . Every tipple of. her sun kissed
hair, every fold of lace about her bosom,
enhanced her beauty, and her glorious eyes
outshone the big diamonds in her ears. .
Yet she vowed she had a shocking head
ache that could brook neither late-hours
nor noise. ' Indeed, so ill was she that even
as the intermezzo in the "Cavallerla Rus
tlcana" sobbed through the opera house
she slipped her cloak about her, and almost
ibef ore Charlie grasped the fact had glided
''What a nuisance!" he muttered as, a
few minutes later, he lit a cigarette under
the portico. "Shall I go to the Bedales
or not? Suppose I must. Oreacia wants .
Lady B. to present her next season.' ' But.
it's so early yet. Better go to" the club
no, Lamont will be there I don't want to
sco him again. . Why not stroll up to the
Cafe Royal and see if that scrap of paper
was a joke or intended for some one else?"
- He nodded to the doorkeeper of the cafe
as he strolled in and leisurely mounted
the marble staircase Squally slowly he
. paced up the narrower stairs, so discreetly
carpeted, and, pushing through the swing
doors, entered the corridor leading, to the
private rooms. r " - '
' No. 8 was fast closed as he neared it, but
as he faced -the door a waiter emerged, and
on the waft of food and champagne rang
a woman's light laugh. .
"You here, and with Lamontr". ' , j f
From Ralph Lamont's encircling arms '
Oreacia" Dulverton stared impudently at
the man who was to be her husband.
- "Caught!" she said, with a little laugh,
and turning her head as though she would
have kissed the man by her sida - . --
But Lamont, his dark eyes flaming,
started to his feet and shook the clinging
woman from him as though she had been
a snake. ' . , . I " " ' ' .-'
"Thank God, Charlie, that you're here
In time I" he- cried, stretching his hands,
across the table to where the younger man
stood, pale as stone, j "Here to see this
woman you would have made your wife in
her true colors. '1 ' '
Oreacia Dulverton is the woman who,
under the guise of purity and innocence,
wrecked the life of my most unhappy
brother Jerry. You have seen for yourself
what manner of woman she is that she
fell so easily into the trap I baited for her
with a handful of gold and a few stolen
kisses. '; Pah, their very memory, sickens
me!" '. ,-'. : .;- ''.-''' .
Tossing some money on to the table he
took up his coat and hat ' --.',
. ' Come, Charlie, my boy, let ' us go and
leave the past here amid the gilt and
gaudy velvet, the untested food and , spilt
wine of a private supper room."
Then he put his arms gently round the
boy and led him from the room. Ex

Clears In England. '

bacconist, as he handed over six war
ranted Havanas to hia cuatomer. , ''I
don't refer to their ideas on democracy

notice an Englishman choosing a cigar?
He always puts it to his ear and Squeezes
it between ' hia forefinger and thumb.
He does that to see if it will crackle. If

An Englishman likes a dry cigar, the
drier the better, while the American
prefers hia damp. If you asked for a

would think either that you were jok'r

- One of the illustrious names that adorn
the pages of Tennessee history and biogra
phy la that cf John Ca&on, eight years a
judge ol.the -supreme court of Tennessee
and for 28 years an associate justice ot the --United
States supreme court. -He was
born Jn Wythe -county, jVW, in 177&. " At
"an early age; he emigrated to Kentucky,
and thenoe to Tennessee, taking up hiB
.residence in Overton county. He served
under General Jackson in the war of 1818,
taking part la the battle of New Orleans.
A friendship was begun between the two
that was never broken. ., i.v:-.;lh 4;"it;' j
. In 1815 he was admitted to'the bar and
began the practice of his profession in
Overton county, In this state, but here
moved to Nashville three years afterward,
in 1818. Six years later be was elected a
supreme judge by the legislature. In 1837,
on March 8, the day before the expiration
of his second term In the - presidential of
fice, Andrew , Jackson) appointed Judge
Oatron an associate Justice of the supreme
court of the United States! which position
he held with great oredlt : to himself and
to the satisfaction of the country and to
his associates on the bench until the date
of his death, which ooourred on the 80th
.day of May, 1865, at Nashville.) His ashes
rest in Mount Olive cemetery, in that city.
Judge Catron was jnot only a warm
friend but also a partisan of : Andrew
Jackson, and, although a judge of the su
preme court of the state, he took an active
part in the acrimonious controversies In
which Old Hickory became so frequent
ly involved during his Stormy politioal oa
reer' It was owing to this faot chiefly, no
doubt, that ho made many bitter enemies,
who at the time made him : the subject of
intense hatred. He ably supported Jackson
and his measures and was particularly
conspicuous in opposing all movements
looking to the elevation of Hugh Laweon
White to the presidency. ; ji .
Judge Catron was not an educated man,
but by" diligent application he gained a
wide knowledge of books and of things
and became the repository of a great deal
Of valuable and practical learning. " He
was intense by nature,, and his judiolal
opinions were, often 'marked by a vehe
mence that sometimes provoked criticism.
He was a man of verydeolded conviotions,
and he gave expression to them in a man
ner that showed courage. .'-! i - - - k----:

his wife picked up a newspaper and read
the account of a vacancy' on the supreme
bench of the United States. , In less-than
ten minutes she had the cook and hostler
in her room and gave orders for an early
breakfast and for the carriage and horses
to be ready at sunrise' the next morning.
She then arranged the. wardrobes for her.
self and the judge and retired without
communicating her plan Jo him.j Next
morning she aroused him at a much earli
er hour - than usual and with some diffi
culty got hlin-to the dining room. I Quoth
the submissive judge: 'Good "wife, what
does this mean? ; I will be drowsy all day.
Jou haye broken into the sweetest hour of
sleep.' To which she replied: 'Never
mind, judge.. You say I do all things for
the best We will discuss details after the
hhrry is over. -Hurry Up; we must be off.
'Be off I he said. 'That cannet be.j I have
some law papers to read and writ up to
days and you must excuse me.' 'No, my
dear judge, the business ia urgent-and re
quires you too. And (bat settles it for the
present.' . -
"From the" dining room his wife led
him to the carriage. 1 After they had ad
vanced as far as he Kentucky line she
handed him the paper ( containing the an
nouncement of the vaosnoy on the supreme
bench and -told him that they were on
their way to Washington, and her purpose
was to put him on the supreme bench of
the United States; that she knew Gener
al Jackson would appoint him ' if the va
cancy was- not 'filled before she could see
him. -Quoth the judge again: Wife,- this
is the : veriest ' nonsense of your life. I
would not humiliate myself by asking fox
the place for the city of Washington, and
we . had better turn around and go bacK
- home.' The wife got just a little bit 'up
on her ear at this and said: ' You don't
have to ask for it. I am net taking you to
Washington for that purpose. My husband
is as well qualified for that plaoe as any
man in America, and if he does not get it
I will know why. You "are in my hands,
judge. ' Your honor is mine. - I will take
care of it. Make yourself comfortable,'
and the judge, as usual, subsided. She ob
tained several relays of horses. They drove
across the Potomac into Washington, and
the carriage stood in front of the White
House at sunrise. , She jumped out like a
girl and left tho judge sitting In the car
riagebut: she was refused- admission by
the usher at that early hour. . Indignantly
she brushed him aside and demanded to be
conducted to General Jackson's presence.
The general was an .early riser and was
sitting at his table with his gown and
slippers on: and a long stem cob pipe in his
mouth. ' When Mrs. Catron was ushered in
by.the frightened usher, the general was
clad and surprised to See her, and before
she took -her seat she asked if the vacancy
on the supreme bench had been filled, and,
when answered in the negative, isaid, 'I
ask the ' appointment Of Judge Catron.'
And the old hero said, 1 By the Eternal, he
shall have it,'. and before the sunset he
was appointed and confirmed." Whether
this story be true or not certain it is that
President Jackson .never made a worthier
appointment. William Rule in Knoxvllle

' "It was generally thought ' two or
three years ago," remarks the Syracuse
Post, "that amateur photography would
die out, as has many another craze, but
tho reverse has been the case. Although
there is not the fuss 'made over it that
there formerly was, more people have
yielded to its fascinations during the
last year than ever before,"'! Jt Is doubt
less true, that photography is hot the fad
today thafit' once was. The kodak fiend
is not so commonly seen as was the case
a few years ago, and of course the bi
cycle must bear the burden of the cam
era's loss ot popularity. :: Nevertheless
there is something so ; fascinating about
nhotosrraphy that it is hardly probable
-that it will ever die out until some new
and better way of , reproducing the lace
of nature is discovered. Those: persons
who adopted the camera just because
their neighbors-did have given it up, as
might have been expected. These same
people will eventually grow tired of the
bicycle or of anything else. ; Novelty is
'what they seek, and aa Boonas the new
ness we'ars off the thing has no further'
attractions. But for persons who; have a
taste that way photography is ever a
novelty.. There is. always some new
process to try, some new experiment to
make, and the real j enthusiast never
nf his camera. The: amateurs
ATA lareelr responsible for the great
progress made in photography, and it is
a fact that until fhe amateur entered
the field the professionals knew only the
rudiments of their art The real ;camerft
crank' is not satisfied to always fol
lowr ; He jnust Experiment and seek" to
produce nevf effects, and it is this possi
bility of invention -and discovery that
constitutes the greatest charm of the
vafitm&-Troy Times. ,
" i.Set His Kind of Talk.
VI'll bet you it is, " cried Mr. Spark.
The argument had reached a most ex
citing point - I N
'!Put up" or shut up," answered Mr.
i3nark in a common, vulgar way. ''Put
up or shut up. Money talks.'' 1 - .
